After the Apocalypse

After the Apocalypse
I will be a different woman.
I will be in limbo
with a Kali necklace of skulls
and a newly sharpened blade.
There will be nowhere safe
to enfold myself.
Images of caged children
will still rattle in my brain.
I will hear the ring
of one last grasp
of a failing democracy.
The pit in my soul
will understand
the shell game of politicians.
All my leaves will have withered
and grayed,
though a fiery center remains.
The apocalypse is now.
